A new information map reveals the most photographed cities in the world and top attractions
Moulin Rouge not Eiffel Tower scored as the most popular picture place in Paris
European cities dominate the list with eight out of 10 positions in the list
(CNN) -- The Eiffel Tower isn't the most popular place for pictures in Paris, nor is the Empire State
Building the top photo destination in New York.
At least, that's the case among users of Google's geolocation-oriented photo-sharing website,
Panoramio, according to Sightsmap.com, which has ranked 15,000 cities and their attractions
according to photos tagged.
The result is a "heatmap" with bright areas indicating more photos.
New York tops the list as the most photographed -- or the highest Panoramio-penetrated -- city in the
world.
Europe dominates the chart with eight places in the top 10.
Among them are three cities in Italy, including Rome, which ranked second.
Barcelona rounds out the top three cities, with Park Guell as its top attraction.
More photos are tagged http://pl.youtube.com/ of the Guggenheim Museum and the Tweed
http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube Courthouse than the Empire State Building in New
York City, according to the poll. (Perhaps because the Empire State Building is a tougher picture to
take?)
The Church of the Santissima Trinita dei Monti triumphs in Rome and the city's favorite wishing
pond, Trevi Fountain, follows.
3. Moulin Rouge is the most Panoramio-photographed attraction in Paris -- the Eiffel Tower came fifth.
Istanbul, recently named the world's top destination by TripAdvisor, was the fifth hottest city on
Sightsmap.com -- Kiz Kulesi (Maiden's Tower) is http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/youtube/ the
city's top attraction.
